Just when I am teetering on the edge of despair concerning the state of child rearing in America, dwelling much, much too obsessively on the damage being done to children and the nation by parents who won't allow their children to take full responsibility for themselves, a little beam of light finds its way through the darkness and rekindles my hope for a future in which children are once again held fully accountable and, as a consequence, allowed to experience the fullness of authentic liberty. The most recent beam of light came in the form of news that Catholic High School for Boys in Little Rock, Arkansas, absolutely forbids parents from coming to the aid of forgetful, irresponsible teenagers. Posted on the main door of the school is a sign reading "STOP! If you are dropping off your son's forgotten lunch, books, homework, equipment, etc., please TURN AROUND and exit the building.
